Why would you have to leave the family behind? Relocation is possible for the whole family too you know.

Once I got a very great job offer that I did not take, not because of family –as Janie has said it here: family can be relocated- but because of my children’s Father job. His job was in one place and mine was going to be far away splitting the family.
I do regret not having taken that offer because of what that job could have given me as a person and to my children.

How disappointing. I think it's often only when women divorce or separate that they consider taking on new challenges. Even today it's generally the man's employment which is considered more important in the family, even if it's less paid.

I'm not sure what you mean by "leave my family"? Are you talking about leaving your Mother and Father and siblings etc., or a committed relationship such as a wife? Makes a big difference!

Go for the job, if you miss your family too much you can always come back rather than wondering "what if" further down the line.
This is assuming family means your relatives rather than spouse and kids.

It was my own decision Janie : I wanted to be with my partner but as I see my life in retrospective I think I should have taken that job offer.
Oh well, I was in love!
To these days my son –the older- tells me how come?
“You should have taken any opportunity that could have benefited you.”
My thinking was and still is:
Family first.

If that is good chance, dont miss it.
You are mature man, you know what good for u and ur family.
Chance will not come twice or wait for u to think. If you not boarding, then u loss the flight.
If thats for better life, family should understand and support you.
First maybe u will move alone, later if u find confortable then u take family with you.
Good Luck......dont miss the flight. Then u will no where.

I agree sweetheart, if it's going to be beneficial to the family, and give a better life to your children then it's worth the temporary disruption while you sort it out and arrange for accommodation schools etc for them.
It would be wrong to hold back for selfish reasons like temporary separation.
If on the other hand it might mean the family splitting permanently, no job is wort that.

If you're referring to 'Family' as in parents go for it.
Now your spouse and children now that would obviously be a totally different thing.

Agreed! My father had to leave his family behind to start a life for his family in SA. It was a temporary situation and worth the sacrifice. My mother followed a year later, and they are still together 52 years later.
